NEW NOMINATIONS
Category:Hibryds by AlarkiusJay
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: speedily moved to User:AlarkiusJay/sandbox, as it was evidently created in category space in error. – Fayenatic London 21:44, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Novelty category about a book the page-creator wrote. No obvious purpose as a regular category, user category, or Wikipedia-project category. Created by a new user, recommend text be copied to his user-space or emailed to him and the category be deleted. Arguably qualifies as WP:G11/advertising but I'm trying not to be WP:BITEY here. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 21:32, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Category:Errors reported by other category header templates
- Nominator's rationale: WP:OCMISC JsfasdF252 (talk) 19:27, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Support, but we had better redirect it unless BrownHairedGirl can provide a full list of templates where this is coded. – Fayenatic London 21:39, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

This is a follow-up on this and this similar earlier discussions. @William Allen Simpson, Justus Nussbaum, and RevelationDirect: pinging contributors to earlier discussions.

Ballot proposals by year and state
- Propose merging
- Category:2000 Alabama amendments to Category:2000 Alabama elections and Category:2000 ballot measures and Category:Alabama amendments
- Category:2006 Alabama amendments to Category:2006 Alabama elections and Category:2006 ballot measures and Category:Alabama amendments
- Category:1990 Alaska ballot measures to Category:1990 Alaska elections and Category:1990 ballot measures and Category:Alaska ballot measures
- Category:1998 Alaska ballot measures to Category:1998 Alaska elections and Category:1998 ballot measures and Category:Alaska ballot measures
- Category:2008 Alaska ballot measures to Category:2008 Alaska elections and Category:2008 ballot measures and Category:Alaska ballot measures

- Category:2020 Alaska ballot measures to Category:2020 Alaska elections and Category:2020 ballot measures and Category:Alaska ballot measures
- Category:2000 Arizona ballot measures to Category:2000 Arizona elections and Category:2000 ballot measures and Category:Arizona ballot measures

- Category:2006 Arizona ballot measures to Category:2006 Arizona elections and Category:2006 ballot measures and Category:Arizona ballot measures
- Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, just one, two or three articles in each of these categories and they are not part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme. This is follow-up on this earlier nomination. This nomination excludes California, Colorado and a few other states that have a larger amount of ballot measures. They may be added to the nomination after all if there is a need for more consistency. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:23, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Category:Confirmed planets of the Gliese 581 system
- Nominator's rationale: Useless, no other planetary system has a separate category for confirmed planets. Kepler-1229b (talk) 15:26, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Agree with nom in principle, but merge to Category:Planets of the Gliese 581 system. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:14, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, merge per Marcocapelle. See also Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2021 January 2#Unconfirmed planets of the Gliese 581 system. – Fayenatic London 21:36, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
Category:Dune (franchise) planets
- Propose merging Category:Dune (franchise) planets to Category:Dune (franchise)
- Nominator's rationale: One article only. Also merge to Category:Fictional planets. TTN (talk) 15:18, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Dual merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:19, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Merge per nom to both cats. -2pou (talk) 17:07, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
Category:Babylon 5 planets
- Nominator's rationale: Contains only redirects. There is little chance articles will ever be added to it again. TTN (talk) 15:17, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:18, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

- Propose deleting Category:Battles of the Demonstration on Dalton of the American Civil War (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: More one-page "campaign" categories, WP:SMALLCAT, like Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2021_January_4#Category:Operations_Near_Cache_River,_Arkansas. I have listed the contents on the parent page Category:Campaigns of the Western Theater of the American Civil War. – Fayenatic London 11:31, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Löschen per nom. There is no need to merge, the articles are already in appropriate categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:49, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for pointing that out, Marcocapelle. – Fayenatic London 15:46, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

- Category:UK Dance Singles Chart number-one singles (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Category:UK R&B Singles Chart number-one singles (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Following the consensus to delete Category:Billboard Hot Country Songs number-one singles last month and some traction gained regarding such categorization in a now-archived discussion at WT:CHARTS a few months earlier, I think we can begin deleting the overblown categorization of songs reaching number one on any of these genre charts. Your reason(s) for the proposed deletion. Songs are not defined by this achievement any more than a song peaking at #2 is defined by that achievement. Plus many of the more popular titles end up being categorized in multitude of similar categories. "Hello (Adele song)" alone is categorized in 31 different #1 song categories, including 5 of the above. The scheme needs to be parsed down or eliminated altogether (as was decided by consensus for number-one albums years ago through Cfd discussions such as this one and others).

- Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:31, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. I can held accountable for adding several of these cats to articles, but lately, my opinions about these genre cats have begun to shift, and they can bloat up an article like nobody's business. Meanwhile, if you make genre cats for all the charts of a particular country, then you have to make them for all other genre charts to be fair. There aren't number-one cats for the genre charts of Australia, Hungary, and Ireland (like here), so why should we have all these ones and leave the others out in the dark? Also, Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars, do you think Category:UK Independent Singles Chart number-one singles should be added to this list as well? ResPM (T🔈 🎵C) 13:24, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
Category:Recipients of the Order of Nasr
- Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Recipients of the Order of Nasr
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD, WP:SMALLCAT)
- The Order of Nasr is an Iranian award that is given out for military logistics. All but one—1—of the articles lists the award in the infobox but nowhwere in the body so the award does not seem generally defining. (I was contemplating creating a sibling to Category:Logistics personnel of the United States military but only 2 of these articles even mention logistics—2, 3—so the original intent of the award may differ from the actual usage.) The recipients are already listified right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:02, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Delete, another obvious case of WP:OCAWARD. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:28, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
Category:Dames of the Order of Louise
- Propose Deleting Category:Dames of the Order of Louise
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OVERLAPCAT and WP:OCAWARD)
- This category has all our favorite Prussian princesses including Princess Alexandrine of Prussia (1803–1892), Princess Alexandrine of Prussia (1842–1906) and Princess Alexandrine of Prussia (1915–1980). Being a Prussian princess is absolutely defining which is why we have Category:Prussian princesses but automatically getting the Order of Louise for the same status (or being a more distant female relative in other royal houses) is non-defining. The current category contents are now fully listified right here in the main article for any readers interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:02, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Delete, another obvious case of WP:OCAWARD. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:29, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - and there are plenty more like this. Rathfelder (talk) 16:24, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
